A classic Volkswagen Beetle, parked on a street in Dallas’ Cedars Neighborhood near a historic Dallas Power & Light substation.
Troca-troca (2002) is a work by Jarbas Lopes composed of three colored beetles, originally yellow, blue and red, which had their bodywork changed, resulting in three multicolored cars. They were used in 2002, by the artist and a group of friends, on a trip from Rio de Janeiro to Curitiba. Communication between the cars was done through an interconnected sound system.
On the way, they put stickers on the windshields of the cars they found on the road, produced from the palindromes archive by artist Luis Andrade: “zé desert, three is ten”, “the bitch leaves in vain”, and “and the bolero; borel oboe”, among others. In 2007, after the restoration, the cars were once again on the road, this time from Belo Horizonte to Brumadinho, after traveling through the surrounding communities.
The Volkswagen Beetle—officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in German der Käfer (meaning "beetle"), in parts of the English-speaking world the Bug, and known by many other nicknames in other languages—is a two-door, rear-engine economy car, intended for five occupants (later, Beetles were restricted to four people in some countries), that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.
A neighbor has several old cars and buses. He has a car wash.
It is called a fusca in Brazil. My father's first car was a (white) fusca.
This is what my Great White North landscape looked like after coming back from my trip down to Florida!!! Picked up a hitchhiker along the way ! :-)
Wishing you all a terrific week-end.
Voici ce à quoi ressemblait mon paysage dans le "Grand Nord" après mon voyage en Floride. J'ai pris un passager sur la route! :-)

If you like a VW Bug/ Beetle , I sure you will in love with this origami model ;-))
I created a Cabrio version (you can see that on the left of the photo). It's a variation of the original origami VW Bug, which is shown on the right.
Both folded from double sized wrapping paper 24x24cm. Final size: length 10cm, width 6cm, height 6cm
A few more facts about this type of car:

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you got troubles
I got them too
There isn't anything
I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by,
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yea You've got a friend in me.

Marine Garage has been a long time fixture on Moncton Street in Steveston. While the pumps remain, today it is solely a mechanics garage under the name of Seppo's Automotive.
Marine Garage is an Art Deco style building that has a long history in providing fuel and service to Steveston's residents. It originally opened as Walker's Emporium in the early 1900s and was one of the few buildings that survived the fire of 1918 (City of Richmond Archives)

The Volkswagen Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in Germany the Volkswagen Käfer and in the U.S. as Volkswagen Bug) is a two-door, four passenger, rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, was formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network. Hitler contracted Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it. Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design. The influence on Porsche's design of other contemporary cars, such as the Tatra V570 and the work of Josef Ganz remains a subject of dispute. The result was one of the first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era. With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made. Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on (mass production had been put on hold during the Second World War) when the model was internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the Volkswagen (or "People's Car"). Later models were designated Volkswagen 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement, the latter two derived from the type number. The model became widely known in its home country as the Käfer (German for "beetle") and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen in other countries. For example, in France it was known as the Coccinelle (French for ladybird/ladybug). [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle]
This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm and a 3-stop B&W ND filter attached to my lens. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there

To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

Big thanks to Nikki for working on this one with me.
It all started with a pose, and a joint, and just kept building from there.

Don't forget to have fun with your photography sometimes, not everything has to be a masterpiece, just enjoy your camera and creative fun ideas to make others smile :))
Came across this garage that had several old cars in bad shape in the yard. Intrigued, I stopped and starting photos of those decaying beauties. The owner came out, and we chatted and found out that he plans to restores them, time permitting. I gave him my card and asked him to contact me when he does, to do a before and after shot.
Better for the eyes and soul in the light box.
Snowy scene that reminds me a little of the old VW commercial where the plow driver uses a VW to get to work.
1965 Volkswagen Sunroof Sedan.
More than one million VWs were built in 1965, a year when a price drop to $1,563 pushed U.S. sales up to 288,583 units.
was a beautiful moonless night in El Dorado Canyon, a perfect time in the Mojave Desert to light paint this classic Rat Rod VW Bug, with the Milky Way, in the night sky.

Please have a look at my YouTube video:
1954 Volkswagen
Due to potential safety issues, Volkswagen abandoned its early iconic “split-window” design in 1953. Pictured here is an example of the follow-up (non-split) oval window found on builds from late 1953 thru 1957. VW outfitted all Beetles with a much larger rear window from 1958 onward.
Although covered in rust, this old-timer still ambles along under its 32HP, 1.2L power plant.
The Beetle was commissioned in the 1930s as the "people's car" (or volks wagen in German). Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, the curvy car was affordable, practical and reliable. Three decades later, the "Bug" (as it was affectionately known) became a symbol of the 1960s and the "small is beautiful" ethos.
Off of Vermont Ave & Torrance Blvd., Torrance, California. This was in 1984. It closed down the next year. We used to go here to get lunch. At the time, I was working at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center as a student worker. I was just learning photography in 1983, so I was making photographs of everything that interested me.
